Another Obama Family Excellent Adventure

Obama with his African relatives

ALOHA, ALL!!

Barry and the wife & kids are going to Africa and we’re paying. How nice for them. The Obama Family Trip to Africa to Cost $60 to $100 Million “Military cargo planes will airlift in 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines and three trucks loaded with sheets of bullet-proof glass to cover the windows of the hotels where the first family will stay. Fighter jets will fly in shifts giving 24-hour coverage over the president’s airspace so they can intervene quickly if an errant plane gets too close.” Frankly, I think it’s worth it provided they stay there.

Contrast & Compare….this from HDR reader Steve. It’s a post written by his brother in France.

Think what you will about Charles DeGalle–politically, I don’t agree with most of his legacy. But, whatever decisions he made, I don’t doubt that he did what he honestly thought was best for France at the time. I recently read an interesting book: “The Apprentice” by Jacques Pepin. Pepin, in his younger days was the personal chef for de Gaulle. A paragraph in the book, p124, made me compare that time with our current times.

“The general also was extremely honest–to the point of punctiliousness–in dealing with the budget allocated to the kitchen. My expenses were spelled out in a ledger which I presented twice a month twice a month to a member of the cabinet to obtain money to pay my suppliers. However, under the General’s orders, I had to keep a special account for the Sunday family meal because the expenses incurred for these were paid for from his personal fund. Even though he was not wealthy, he felt that the Sunday meal was his own responsibility. For de Gaulle, it was a question of ethics.”

I couldn’t help but think of the stark contrast between that, and Obama’s multi million dollar vacations and meals for himself, his wife, their daughters, the daughters’ friends, the family dog, an entourage of 300, etc, etc. More like Louis XVI, than president of the US.

That’s because there’s no subversive activity happening in mosques. Obama’s Snooping Excludes Mosques, Missed Boston Bombers “Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. No more surveillance or undercover string operations without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the Sensitive Operations Review Committee. Who makes up this body, and how do they decide requests? Nobody knows; the names of the chairman, members and staff are kept secret.”

DUH!!White House Says Syria Used Chemical Weapons, Crossing Line “The president did not address the administration’s determination of chemical weapons use or decision to extend new military aid to the rebels while speaking at an LGBT Pride event Thursday evening at the White House.” Of course. So what are you gonna do, Barry, now that your “Red Line” is crossed??????

The Farm Bill– Sure sounds like a good thing to help farmers, right? Another Bloated Bill Expands Government Even Further “Among other questionable provisions in the costly bill, more than 80 percent of the spending goes to food stamps, not farmers. It spends half again as much as the last farm bill, passed in 2008. It even taxes Christmas trees and rocks!”

Top Ten Obama Scandals You Didn’t Know About by KEITH KOFFLER on JUNE 12, 2013, 12:51 PM

A massive White House Dossier investigation involving more than 40 reporters and 12 dental hygienists has uncovered a startling array of Obama administration scandals heretofore unknown to the public and Congress.

I think you’ll agree, data mining and Benghazi are nothing compared to some of the things we’ve dug up. We were so excited at finding these new scandals that we initially thought we’d keep them all to ourselves. But as a public service, we share with you here the top ten.
